Amazing, I love this game. It's really a go to game and I come back to it fairly often. An in game timer for those of us who want to speedrun the game whether that be the main campaign, survival medals, or 100% it would add a lot of replay value to this.
By the way, for those of you who want hints
General play-if enemies come at you with shields up throw a kick to knock them down, if you dodge an arrow while someone is behind you the arrow will hit the enemy, aerial attacks are the most useful in the game-drop kicks at the head knock down the enemy while drop stabs basically guarantee death FOR ALL ENEMIES.
The Arcadians are easy, you can just free play it to be honest
For the boss, slice the hell out of him-he may knock you down but you can tank it.
The Messinians you can also basically just free play. For this boss he can't break your block so just move forward, slice, and yeah-it's done
For the Epeians...yeah, you guessed it, you can free play that as well. For the boss I would recommend to keep your spear and just poke him until he dies, if not that wait for him to attack then cut him with your sword-or even better this is the first out of the last 3 you can use a broken strategy-jump up and drop kick him ON THE HEAD knocking him down and chipping away his health, an even BETTER strategy is the use your sword to stab his head-BEWARE THOUGH IF YOU MISS YOU WILL BE OPEN TO A BIG COMBO-YOU GOTTA MOVE OUT OF THE WAY FAST!
For the Thessians, just know how to dodge arrows, stab with your spear, cut people...yeah, it's straightforward.
For Perikles, the BEST strategy is to still have your spear OR sword- jump right above him and stab his head. As always the sword does more damage. Alternatively you can also drop kick-which I would say is easier and safer due to the kick not taking effect until it reaches its target and if you miss you have plenty of time to jump before he goes for another strike, but you will do significantly less damage and it will take longer.
Note: YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE TIMING DOWN OR YOU WILL MISS AND HE WILL STRIKE YOU.
And finally the Trojans: Keep dodging and strike where you see an opening. Swing pretty early (timing is essential), use the aerial attacks, and do the "friendly fire" strategy as often as possible to save you from potentially getting cut while doing a finisher-in fact- I recommend not even doing the finisher unless you are sure that you are down to the very last soldier. They are easily the most difficult in the game
Oh, and for Hector, either keep poking with the spear keeping your distance so you won't get cut, back up and look for an opening with the sword and take that opening to cut him, or straight up go for the classic drop kick (or even better the drop stab) strategy I mentioned earlier.
PROBLEMS: In survival mode and sometimes in story mode, Achilles tends to freeze sometimes-the game glitches him out...this is a very rare issue though.
I am curious though, were the enemies all based off of the Iilad or just the Trojans? If it is the latter, did you just take other enemies from Greek mythos and put them in the game? I always loved Greek stories and would love to know if there is more to Achilles legend than the information I have acquired. I have searched up some bosses and peoples in the game, but have found very little correlation with them and the Iliad.
NOTE: Survival mode is inaccurate for records. I broke many of my records yet the record keeps fluctuating from 99 to 126 to 231 etc. I have gotten all of these #'s but it does not save the all time record.
